Turnstile Show Goes Viral After Fan’s Stage Dive
A Turnstile concert in Richmond, Va., has resurfaced in the news following viral footage of an audacious stage dive and an earlier pepper spray incident.
The Baltimore hardcore band played Brown’s Island in September, and as is typical for their high-octane live shows, fans were encouraged to join the band onstage during their performance of “Birds.”
In video footage that recently gained traction online, one fan is seen sprinting across the stage and launching himself over the photo pit, attempting to clear a large gap between the stage and the barricade.
A teen was pepper sprayed by police during “Birds.” That same night, another fan was pepper sprayed by a local sheriff's deputy, prompting backlash and an ongoing investigation into police conduct.
No comment from the band or authorities is available at this time.
